Thanks Bob. I've already installed and configured dovecot and it's very
fast. Great improvement over WUIMAP. Configuration was annoying, but not
that hard. Just a matter of reading the configuration file's comments and
trying different things out. I can't get POP to work, but ipop3d isn't a
problem so I just enabled imap.

Thanks loads.
